[pmwiki-users] authuser bug ?

[Falk Hamann]

I have a problem with build-in authentifiction on pmwiki.
On the root-page of wiki http://www.example.com/wiki the
authentification always failed for non-admin accounts. Only admin
(configured in config.php can login there). But if a user is
authentificated on a page behind these, then the page
http://www.example.com/wiki is accessible without problems. Thats also
right for users, who have only read rights and login over a nonexisting
page!

Why user can't authentificate on the root-page ?

I mean the auth-script is also active on this page, because of a wrong
user/pw-combination force a "Name/password not recognized"-message.
